PHD Candidate

PhD Candidate in Cell-Matrix Interactions in Dynamic Hydrogels Maastricht University WO limburg, Maastricht Geplaatst 22 uur geleden Welcome to Maastricht University! Join us in developing cell-instructive and adaptive supramolecular biomaterials. In this PhD project, you will investigate how the molecular organization, mechanics, dynamics, and presentation of biological signals within hydrogels influence cell behavior. You will then help extend these principles toward living materials in which engineered cells actively modify their surrounding matrix. PhD Candidate in Cell-Matrix Interactions in Dynamic Hydrogels Discover how dynamic supramolecular matrices instruct cells and how cells can, in turn, reshape and improve the material around them - Our goal: To establish predictive relationships between supramolecular hydrogel design and cell response, and to use these insights to create adaptive materials with two-way communication between cells and their matrix. - Your colleagues: You will join the BioMatt group of Dr. Matthew Baker ( https://merlninstitute.com/discover-merln/departments-and-groups/research-groups/biomatt-polymeric-biomaterials ). The BioMatt group is part of MERLN's Department of Instructive Biomaterials Engineering (IBE), which develops biomaterials that actively interact with and guide biological systems. Within this environment, BioMatt combines molecular and polymer design with cell biology and tissue engineering to create dynamic materials for biomedical applications. Working at MERLN means joining an international network of researchers from approximately 25 nationalities and a collaborative community spanning biomaterials, chemistry, mechanobiology, tissue engineering, biofabrication, microbiology, and cell biology. You will work in newly renovated laboratories with access to state-of-the-art facilities and close scientific support from colleagues across the SupraValent team. What you do This posit...
